NEW YORK (AP) - Brett Favre's agent says the New York Jets
quarterback will retire.
The 39-year-old Favre instructed agent James "Bus" Cook to
tell the team Wednesday that he won't return for a 19th NFL season
- and second with the Jets.
In an e-mail to ESPN, Favre says he has no regrets about ending
his career in New York and praises the team's owner, front office
and fired coach Eric Mangini.
Favre wrote he enjoyed his time with the Jets, despite a
late-season slump that saw New York go from 8-3 to missing the
playoffs. Favre threw nine interceptions as the Jets went 1-4 down
the stretch, and a torn right biceps might have contributed.
